Sub-cuts were first introduced by Kubota with the model BX-1500-1800-2200 group. They were a lighter rear then a standard cut requiring a fan or additional oil coolers to maintain a good temperature. By going with a fuller frame like many of the bigger farm tractors have done the weight was still there of many of the compacts.
Tire sizes are smaller and more the size of a garden tractor. This is where they got into trouble with the three point on early models as it was to close to the ground although it did take cat 1 implements they often had difficulty with getting them to have enough ground clearence when raised. Today they have raised them and the issues have gone except where an implement manufacturer might still be building a cat 1-2 machine.
They are more for a large lawn then in the back forty so to speak although I see people keeping up to ten acres worked by them. With the backhoes and the large list of three point hitch tools they are like a swiss army knife for a homeowner.
When it comes to working in the woods I normally try to get people to buy up to the regular frame machines for the additional ground clearance.
